- per-object cap: Not applicable, the service closed | source: [1]

- egress: Not applicable | metered: no | source: [1]

- interface: unknown
- limits:
  - retention-clamped (binding): the storage product was discontinued and migrated to OneDrive by 2021-09-30 [2]
- binding note: The storage product ended, so the retention clamp is total and there is no offer to test.
- tooling: none usable. Samsung's own support pages redirect the user to their personal OneDrive account
- composes with: Nothing to chain: it is now literally OneDrive on a 5 GB free tier. The 15 GB that older guides quote is a number that no longer exists
- reliability: Do not count this as a live 15 GB. The quota Samsung matched on OneDrive lasted one year and OneDrive's own 5 GB applied afterwards
- notes: Recorded under a slug that does not collide with the compute topic's samsung-cloud record, which covers Samsung SDS Cloud Platform and is a different product from the same company.
